| Description: |
The actor and children's author presents a compendium of entertaining, unusual, creative, and inspiring activities that parents can share with their children. |
| Synopsis: |
What's a palooza? An activity that keeps kids from uttering those terrifying words, "I'm bored!" You may know John Lithgow as star of stage, screen, and television or even as a bestselling children's book author. But his most important role -- parent -- was also the most fun. Whether building cardboard castles or putting on a King and I puppet show or conducting a treasure hunt in the National Gallery of Art, John has spent years perfecting the art of the palooza. A palooza is easy to do! ? A palooza doesn't cost much (some cost absolutely nothing) ? A palooza is instigated or organized by parents but is quickly taken over by children ? A palooza may involve a computer but never the TV ? A palooza may use all varieties of arts and crafts ? A palooza may secretly teach children (and parents!) a thing or two ? A palooza is entertaining for the entire family ? A palooza depends entirely on the inexhaustible creativity, ingenuity, imagination, and sense of fun of young minds This book contains 101 ideas for creating paloozas for children ages 3 to 12 wherever you are. Grouped according to interests and themes -- like art, drama, music, vacations, and birthdays -- and incorporating lots of extrapaloozas, fun facts for parent and child, and suggested additional reading for all ages, John's paloozas range from adopting your own soup can for a day to inventing your own secret language to establishing left-handed day or creating a self-portrait. A Lithgow Palooza! is an utterly unique collection of original activities guaranteed to transform any household from bored to bubbling with fun. |
